Just A Four-Letter Word

I grabbed my glasses
and that flowered dress you loved
then ran like hell
and prayed above

This game of hide-and-seek will last for years
And you won't get the honor to see my tears
For the sidewalks and scenes bleed together
and my world's coming apart
You still got my clothes
but I still got your heart


Because anyway you spell it
for me it just occurred
this wasn't meant to last
Love's just a four-letter word


You keep singing that you want me back
but say I'm getting colder
maybe that is the case
or you urged me to be bolder

Too preoccupied with your wish list
too busy to see mine
although the pain I take in fistfuls
will help me become more divine

Anywhere my legs will take me
behind me, see my miles
you still hold on to my cries
but I'm growing my own smiles


Because anyway you whisper it
for me, I just heard
this can be measured in time
love's just a four-letter word


You won't get me back
You won't get me back
walking through the frame of that door
You won't get me back
You won't get me back
no, you don't know me anymore

Because anyway you say it
for me, it just occurred
you can never say forever
love's just a four-letter word
